Maybe it’s a fad, maybe Proust was right and we’re just harkening back to our childhood. But there’s something we really dig about an SUV wrapped in camouflage. Not the shape-obscuring wraps automakers put on their prototypes, but proper military-style multicolor camo – like the treatment on this Suzuki.

Suzuki will have 12 vehicles on show in all, including versions of the Solio Bandit, Alto Works, Wagon R Stingray, and Spacia Custom. But with apologies to that sporty little Swift, it’s the camo Xbee we like most.
